Former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq Friday lashed out at Pakistan for making a U-turn on selecting cricketers from an unrecognised Indian league and succumbing to "pressure."
Pakistan selectors Monday named three rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL) players -- Abdul Razzaq, Rana Naved-ul Hasan and Imran Nazir -- in a preliminary 30-man squad for the T20 WC in England in June.

Pakistan's banned fast bowler Rana Naved has asked the PCB for a central contract before he snaps ties with the rebel Indian Cricket League.
Naved said he was keen to play for the countries but wanted some kind of an assurance from the PCB once he left the ICL.

Even after snapping ties with the Indian Cricket League, 'rebel' players would have to cool their heels for about 6-12 months before they can return to international cricket, according to a PCB official.
Pakistan Cricket Board chief operating officer Saleem Altaf said the International Cricket Council was considering a 'cooling period' for players who part ways with unrecognised tournaments like ICL before they can return to international cricket action.

Pakistan will not field rebel cricketers until it receives clarification on the status of their contracts in India and a decision by the sport's governing body, an official said Tuesday.
National selectors had included three players from the unrecognised Indian Cricket League (ICL) in the preliminary 30-man squad for the T20 WC championships, subject to clearance from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the International Cricket Council.

Pakistan's Abdul Razzaq has gone ahead and made a claim that the Indian Cricket League (ICL) has terminated the contracts of all Pakistani players and would issue 'No Objection Certificates' (NOCs) this week to enable them to play elsewhere, including for the national team.
"In the next two or three days we will have the NOCs in our hands and will be able to submit it to the Pakistan Cricket Board," Razzaq said.

The Kiwi cricketers contracted with the rebel cricket league - ICL, were told that they would be offered a lease from their contracts if they were to request for their release. This move would enable the rebel Kiwis to resume their duties with their national side.

Ejaz Butt, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief, said that he was unsure about Mohammad Yousuf leaving the rebel Indian Cricket League (ICL).
"I have been hearing about it (Yousuf's plans to quit ICL) from the media," said Butt.

Star Pakistani middle order bulwark Mohammad Yousuf could be donning Pakistan colours again after reports have emerged that he is planning to end his association with the Indian Cricket League(ICL) and return to international cricket.
Yousuf, Abdul Razzaq, Imran Farhat, Imran Nazir, Mohammad Sami and Naved-ul-Hasan are the players who might walk away from the ICL, the News reported.

An attempt to end an ongoing dispute between the unofficial Indian Cricket League and the Indian Board ended in failure here Monday.
The International Cricket Council announced in a statement following a three-hour meeting that no agreement had been reached.
